Dry Box (Kayak/ Boat/ Tubing)

temp_-1514503764.jpg
Yeah so I got this great waterproof bag for my DSLR camera online. Now I can take my camera into the kayak without worries... or under water for that matter.

The only issue is I have no waterproof storage for a spare lens, my smart watch, my phone, keys.... etc...

My solution is this simple inexpensive box!

Plus if I flip it floats!

My kayak unfortunately is just not equipped.

Here's my fix.

What You Need

Drill bits, drill, liquid safe tupperware (has waterproof gasket and locks), and a gate latch cable.

Note: Tupperware should be soft and flexable. Hard tupperware will usually crack.

Match

Match a drill bit with the clip that comes on the gate latch cable.

Pick a spot on the lip of your container where it won't impede the gasket. Drill slowly.

Slip hook threw the drilled hole.

Hook It

Just hook it to your kayak and tuck it where you feel comfortable (I prefer easy access) and away you go...
